Does exist a function to free a MYSQL_FIELD pointer?

[María José González]

Hi,

my code has a memory leak when executing it, and I suspect it comes from a bad free of a MYSQL_FIELD pointer.

I could see that when you make a mysql_store_result, it allocs memory to the variable inside this function, and after that you must to call mysql_free_result to free this memory.

Does it runs in the same way with mysql_fetch_fields?. If the answer is yes, which one is that function??.

My code looks like:

int cols;
int i;
MYSQL_RES *res_set;
MYSQL_FIELD *f;

............. it doesn't matter

res_set = mysql_store_result(mysql);
cols=mysql_num_fields(res_set);
f = mysql_fetch_fields(res_set);

for(i=0;i<cols;i++)
{
....... no important for this problem
}

mysql_free_result(res_set);
res_set = NULL;

....... and end
}
